Here's a breakdown of a court case from Chennai involving a family dispute over property. Judge R. Sakthivel delivered the decision on November 28, 2025.

The People Involved

  • Person Who Started the Case: T. Imanjali
  • People Being Sued: Silga Vajramma, Silga Joseph, and M. Ramani

The Property Issue

T. Imanjali filed a case back in 2014 about a property in Pulianthope, Chennai. The problem started when Silga Vajramma gave part of a 600 sq.ft. property to T. Imanjali through a Gift Settlement Deed. Things got complicated when this deed was canceled, and the property was later sold to M. Ramani.

What Happened?

  • July 25, 2014: T. Imanjali filed the original case.
  • October 9, 2006: The first Gift Deed to T. Imanjali was canceled.
  • October 4, 2010: A new Gift Deed was made for Silga Joseph.
  • November 27, 2013: Silga Joseph sold the property to M. Ramani.

T. Imanjali wanted the court to cancel these transactions and stop any building on the property.

Court's Initial Decisions

The trial court rejected T. Imanjali's request to change the case to include more demands, saying the property was not valued correctly. The court thought the property was undervalued at Rs. 5,00,000.

The Latest Decision

Judge R. Sakthivel looked over the case and decided to allow T. Imanjali's request. The court found that the property was valued correctly and that T. Imanjali's request was fair.

"This Court is inclined to allow the Civil Revision Petition."

Why It Matters

This decision shows how important it is to value property accurately and to take legal action in a timely manner. It also highlights how complicated family disputes over property can be.

What's Next?

With the court allowing the changes to the case, it will continue with the new claims included, giving T. Imanjali a chance to fully present her case.
